I would hope a trendy Max Martin pop album

Genuine question, what exactly about ES is trendy? Specially considering there's many posts here during y,a? underperformance saying Max Martin was on its way out and his production was dated, now suddenly working with him would give surefire success and its trendy?

not saying the album is experimental, but it's not trendy, TUN was, not ES 

Her voice 

 

no amount of numbers and charts and trophies can ever change that. The voice of our generation 

 

oof her talent

Great music, artistry, and great lyrics, too. She let the music speak for itself.

 

When the music is liked by the people organically, the impact will be sustainable.

It's a mix of R&B and dance pop - both sounds that are very popular atm

Mainstream music ≠ trendy

 

and her music has always been a mixture of pop/r&b
